Loud. It was very, very, loud. And so very crowded, too! Why had she come here again? Some crazy idea about making an entrance? The right timing? It had been the easiest if she had been the one making the announcements instead of this incredibly handsome announcer. Lumi knew a talent when she saw one. But, Sophia wasn't there, she wasn't in the middle of that ever-growing kerfuffle that seemed to develop more and more into an unorganized comedy sketch by the second.
No, Sophia was in the middle of the surrounding crowd. Feeling like a sardine in a can of sardines! Uncomfortable, and quite dead. "Urm... e-excuse me..." She murmured. "O-Oh no!" She could see another guy revealing his S-Rank Talent! That made three! The longer she waited, the worse it'd be! "C-coming through...!" She whispered, trying to squeeze herself past the masses. "S-Sorry!" Eventually, she was at the very front, landing on all fours with a sigh of relief.
Sophia Loreheart was no longer part of the crowd.

Lumi Sonicboom could finally enter the stage.
The young woman stood up, doing a complete 180 on the confidence scale compared to just mere moments ago. "Hop!" Jumping over the small obstacle that divided the crowd from the main stage, it was time to put on her act! Fake it till you make it, as they say. "Excuse me~" With soft steps, and her attire, and considering what was already going on, nobody really stopped her from getting closer to the core of the shenanigans. To the Director, the Scroll, the S-Ranks, and... a prisoner? "If I maaay?" With a light tap on the shoulder of a guard, Lumi had found just Her.Right.Timing!
"I believe a public reveal would be a mistake, but I also have an S rank talent."
"This girl is a Chosen. She has significant abilities..."
"S-Rank ... With all due respect, sir, it seems in poor taste to hold such a gaudy affair in the wake of a disaster."
Critical! Information.
This was all Lumi had to hear. It was all that she wanted to hear! A plan formulated inside her mind for the very next ten seconds. The crowd had been going wild for the first three S-Ranks, and suddenly, here she had three more! Four more!? Maybe one was a sham, maybe another a scam! But it didn't matter! Scroll or not. She would take this chance and put the two of them into the limelight they deserved!
Sure, these party-poopers didn't sound very willing to participate in such a reveal, BUT it's not like they would get any other chance... now. Nonetheless, she had to act quickly.
"Ahem... testing, testing, one two three...." Using her voice and Sonic Bow Tie, Lumi's voice grew louder and louder. Loud enough to rival that of the other announcer and the possible still ongoing fireworks with ease? How did he do it again? Yeah....
"S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S!!!!!! RRRRRRRRRAAAAAANNNKKKKKKUUUUUUUU!!!!!" If the sudden intrusion of a new stranger's voice didn't catch anyone's attention, it sure did now... she hoped. Cutting in in the middle of an ongoing show was always a bit awkward, but by giving her soul companion a wink, he could surely forgive her? Eh.
"NOT JUST ONE, NOT EVEN TWO, FORGET THE SEXY NUMBER THREE!" Using whatever confusion Lumi generated, she walked next to the hooded girl( Tau ), the armored titan( AnonyMouse ), and the child ( Marceline_idue ). Taking the two smaller girls' hands and raising them into the air. "BUT FOUR AND FIVE! A DUO!"... before dropping one of the girl's hands and tapping the giantess's shoulder. "AND SIX! WE GOT TRIPLETS! THREE MORE! LADIES, AND GENTLEMEN! THREE MORE! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? GIVE IT A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE FAIR MAIDEN AND HER GIANTESS PROTECTOR AND THE MOST PRECIOUS CHILD AROUND!" The crowd was going wild as Lumi announced the existence of three more S-Ranks to the public. "Oh, and with yours truly, it would make even seven! Maybe it's National S-Rank day today!" Her introduction was just a tad more silent than the others, less to keep it a secret and more so that her role wasn't to stay IN the limelight for too long, but rather support it!
With these words, and the crowd going wild, Lumi now let go of her two future-companions and circled the entire group. Her voice amplified to fill the entire space. "Ladies and gentlemen..." She sounded a tad disappointed. "...I know we can do better than that! These are S-Rank heroes standing before us, each and every one of them deserving of our utmost respect and admiration!" Ominous pause, as she eyed the slightly calmed crowd.
"SO LET'S NOT HOLD BACK! I want to hear you cheer louder than you've ever cheered before! On the count of three, let's give it up for ALL SEVEN of our S-Rank heroes!... One, Two, THREE!"
There, she had done it. At least from those S-Ranks who introduced themselves so far, none was left out! Faaantastico!
